During many visits Mexico showed its colorful, well known passionate and cheerful character and appearance to Femke. While underneath there is so much darkness. There are many sad and scary facts of Mexican life, everywhere.
Social and economic injustices like corruption, a strong division between rich and poor, the narcos in certain states, the home situation of many people. When talking to Mexicans this comes up.
So many Mexican people she met didn’t think this can change. And most of them accept this as facts of life…
That makes the Mexican vibe warm, brewing and melancholic.
